I've always found the bookie/betfair online streams to be about 5 seconds quicker than channel 4 racing, why is this and is it the same for RUK and ATR when watching on TV.

I can't seem to connect to Betfair Live Feed when accessing via Bet Angel homepage. All I get is the 'twirling circle' after clicking on the required race. This problem doesn't happen when I access vis the Betfair website directly. Any ideas why this the case (such as settings)?

Hello
Is there anyway to get betfair live video horse coverage without constantly betting 5gbp to fullfill minimum betting requirments in order to watch it?
Every single race I need to reopen betfair live stream video again and again , is there a way to pay or bet once and then have a constant access?
thanks a lot for any help

Remarkable!
I assume it is working for you? I have no luck with any horse racing live stream from betfair website so far three days in a row.

I am probably being thick here ... but if I am logged on to Betfair via my Bet Angel software - Do I also then log straight on to Betfair in order to get the live video. Will Betfair allow "two" log-ins to the same account via different means? If this is not the case what is the trick ?

Betfair will allow two logins in my experience but you don't necessarily need to open betfair with your browser as you can use the in built one on the 'desktop' tab once you log on to the betangel software. So you can work it all from on betangel.

Anyone got a solution to having to click on "allow" Adobe Flash every time before watching a race on Betfair Video?

Thanks

Hi
Is in future updates BA developers looks to add "live stream" button, like in other trading programs
It is very inconvinient to open BF site in browser and switching betwen BA and browser

Click Desktop tab option, the one next to One-click, Ladder, Manual Bet etc & you will see,

You can access it from here, although personally I use a seperate browser. I would rather my software focus on being my software & not my live stream... thats personal preference though.

If you don't have enough screen real estate to display both at the same time then try Alt-Tab (assuming you're on Windows) ?

The Betfair web site leaks a lot of memory so as James just said its better to use an external browser and connect to https://livevideo.betfair.com/
that will provide much better segregation inside windows and will use your PC's memory and processor more effectively.
i.e. The Bet Angel interface will perform better if you don't give the same core of your processor the additional task of handling the Betfair web site.

Another alternative to Shauns suggestion is to use a free program called deskpins, that will enable you to use the pop-out Betfair video which you can then pin anywhere you want and always have it on top.

I've tried Geeks Toy which I couldn't get along with. I'm now trialling other software which is ok and I think I'll try Bet Angel before deciding which of the two to go for.
One thing that I like in other software is that when you have the grid open for a race there is a button that opens the betfair video. This gives a bigger screen that the betfair video and it has a pin so that you can pin it to the screen.
I'm not clear if this is the case in Betangel despite reading the thread.
Would someone please clarify.
Thanks
